One of the objects of my invention is to provide an' air-tight andwater-tight receptacle or container for receiving personal articles suchas money, face powder or other toilet articles being constructed andarranged with a view of compactness and which may be carried in a pocketof a bathersbelt, for instance.

Another object of my invention is to provide an air-tight andwater-ti'ghtcompartment or receptacle for receiving money, jewelry orother personal articles including a novel and improved cover or closureembodying a mirror and a pad between. the mirror and the interior of thereceptacle to prevent rattling of its contents.

- In order to more fully understand and appreciate my invention,reference is had to the accompanying drawings, showing apreferredembodiment thereof.

Figure 2 is vertical sectional view the same.

Referring now to the drawings, 5 designates'the body of the receptacle,which is preferably of rubber or other waterproof material. The top" ofthe body is restricted in size and provided with a threaded ring 6,which is bent outwardly and downwardly as at 7 over the top edge ofthe-body and crimped thereto so that the material is sesurely heldbetween the inner and outer wall of the ring. A closure 8 having a topflange 9 is provided with an externally threaded ring 10 which isadapted to engage the threads of the ring 6 as the cap is threaded onthe body of the receptacle. In order to provide for an air-tight andwater-tight closure, a gasket 10 is interposed between the flange 9 andthe top of the ring 7 as clearly shown by Figure 2 of the drawings. Thebottom edge of the bottom ring 10 is provided with an inwardly extendingflange 11 which supports a mirror 12.

The receptacle is of a size capable of being carried in the pocket. ofanysuitable type of belt, such as a bathers belt. Furthermore, the innersurface of the pad 15 maintains the face of "the mirror clear and thepad prevents the damage of said mirror from the articles retained in thebody portion of the receptacle.
